Notes[edit | edit source]

  1. ↑ Upon his defeat, Ketheric becomes the Apostle of Myrkul through a hidden Polymorph condition. Therefore, if concentrating on a spell like Witch Bolt Witch Bolt on Ketheric when he is defeated, it remains on the Apostle of Myrkul after the cutscene of its emergence.
